Sew Paper Raindrops To Make A Baby Shower Banner

Make a raindrop papercraft banner for your baby shower! It’s super simple to sew with a few tips.

To create this banner, you’ll need:

• Two to three tones of blue cardstock
• Sharp scissors
• Sheet of plain white paper
• Wax paper
• White or light blue thread
• Clear tape
• Sewing machine

Easy how to steps:

1. Make a template – cut a raindrop shape from the piece of white paper. Use it as a template to cut raindrops from the different tones of blue paper.
2. Stitch set-up – cut strips of wax paper.
3. Sew – slowly stitch raindrops onto wax paper, allowing long leads between each paper raindrop and a long lead before the first raindrop. I suggest alternating tones of blue as well.
4. Tear away – when you’re all done, carefully tear the wax paper away leaving just the banner.
5. Hang – hang from ceiling with a piece of clear tape.

I chose to hang my raindrop banner among a cloud of balloons. Just a bunch of 10 inch transparent helium balloons, but they make wonderful height to the dessert table. The umbrella is a nice add too. It’s a Totes kids bubble umbrella.
